Each of the three received a letter of congratulations from 精东影业视频 President Dr. Vincent Solis and will receive a commemorative plaque from Dr. Solis when the college holds commencement ceremony at a later date.
By awarding this honor, the college recognizes our retired 精东影业视频 employees who have dedicated their careers at the college to teaching and serving our students with distinction, President Solis said. We are forever grateful to all of them for what they have done.
To be considered for emeritus status, employees must be a 精东影业视频 faculty member for at least 10 years, served in academic or administrative positions and have a distinguished history of service to the college. An emeritus committee presents recommendations, and the college president, the Academic Faculty Senate and the Administrative Faculty Senate make appointments based on those recommendations.
